Most recently, Mr. Hajela was Chief Financial Officer of NationsHearing, a national hearing care network of 1,500+ locations that offers comprehensive hearing aid and hearing services solution for patients, health plans, partners and providers. During his time, he developed a business model that was disruptive to the hearing-aid industry and was instrumental in completing several financial transactions that strengthened the company's overall financial structure.
Prior to his role at NationsHearing, Mr. Hajela served as Chief Financial Officer of MDLive, a leading provider of integrated virtual health services, where he played a key role in pioneering efforts in telehealth, helping to grow the Company from initial stage to 15M lives. During that time Mr. Hajela helped raise $80M in capital with his team, including due diligence with investors, Raymond James, and E&Y.
Previously, Mr. Hajela served as CFO & COO of MTI America, a leading provider of integrated, clinically driven, and cost-effective workers’ compensation ancillary service solutions, where he led a successful turn-around of the group to profitability. He also started the Company’s Air Ambulance division and played a key role in negotiating funding with financial institutions.
In addition, Mr. Hajela previously served as CFO and Senior Vice-President of Liberty Medical Supply, a publicly traded health care company that provides diabetic/other medical products. During his six-year period as CFO, he helped implement a business model that drove the Company’s revenue growth from $30M to $356M and was instrumental in completing a $70.8M Secondary Stock Offering, with Liberty eventually being acquired by Medco for $1.5 billion.
